Turkish social media users slammed Swiss media outlets Wednesday for misleadingly using photos of Turkish Airlines aircraft when reporting on the recent deadly Boeing crash in Ethiopia and its impact on aviation.

Sunday's deadly crash of a Boeing 737 MAX airplane in Ethiopia was the second fatal accident involving this type of aircraft in less than five months.
